Psalm 1
The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked
Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law will he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the waterside, that will bring forth his fruit in due season.
His leaf also shall not wither; and look, whatever he does, it shall prosper.
As for the ungodly, it is not so with them; but they are like the chaff, which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.
Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgment, neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
